A driver was killed then their car crashed in Waitomo last night.​Police Northern Communications Centre shift commander Steve Kose said the car rolled just before 10.30pm and the sole occupant died at the scene.The police serious crash unit is investigating.

As an aside, did anyone go to that link and watch the Sky Tower fireworks "display". It honestly looks like they just popped down to the Warehouse and bought the $50 fireworks pack. NZ misses the trick when it comes to this stuff. Invest some money in a decent fireworks display (like they had for the RWC 2011) and since it's the first country to see the new year, it would get plastered all over the world news. Instead everyone just ignores it and focuses on Australia.
